Margarit specimen from ParaType

An Armenian serif drawn in 1997 by Manvel Shmavonyan, adapting Alexander Tarbeev's PT Bodoni of 1989 for both text and display use.

About

Margarit applies the high-contrast, Didone-derived forms of PT Bodoni to the Armenian script, offering four styles across two weights with matching italics. Designed within ParaType's own library, it covers both text and display typography. Its basis in a well-established Bodoni model gives it a classical authority suited to formal Armenian typesetting.

Classification

Derived from PT Bodoni, a Didone-style typeface, adapted for the Armenian script. The high contrast strokes and bracketed serifs of the Bodoni model place this firmly in the modern serif tradition.
